Too many talking snippets. (0 more)
I won this album from a giveaway here on Smashbomb! I was absolutely delighted to receive it and as I am a Lady gaga fan, I couldn't wait to listen to it.

I popped it in and I'm really sad to say that I was very disappointed with it. There are a lot of talking snippets throughout the album, which didn't really seem to fit or make sense in any way. It left me feeling somewhat confused as it was a soundtrack.

As far as the music goes, I really wanted to like this album so much, but it was all very generic and samey throughout. The tracks seemed to run into one and I got bored listening to it, however, I listened to it in its entirety.

I'm really sorry to say that I would not recommend this album (Sorry guys)

Just a heads up...
I have listed one of my current WIP with the idea that, until I am ready for Beta readers, and eventually get it self published, I would like to share a little bit of my writing experience with you all. I will be sharing a video blog depicting the different experiences which I will be going through as I finish my first draft, go through editing and revisions, seek out Beta readers, and do my best to promote the heck out of my finished project. I will be sharing plenty of behind the scenes information, as well as stories of how this story idea came to be, and my early struggles with the writing process before I came to join Smashbomb. I hope you all enjoy these videos and hopefully you will feel like you have played a special part of my whole creative experience.

I received this as part of a smashbomb competition!

The game has 5 different mini games which are all very fun. Each card has several different characters or objects on it and these have to be matched with various paired cards.

The game is very easy to pick up with simple instructions for all the mini games. It would suit all types of people/family members even those without prior Harry Potter knowledge. The different icons are depicted within the instructions with names.

We spent quite some time playing this game eventhough each game is fairly short. Its addictive and much harder than the description sounds.

Sometimes you have the flow of things and blast through several pairs. Other times you are stumped and cant pick out any difference between the cards.

Stardust
By Neil Gaiman

Life moves at a leisurely pace in the tiny town of Wall - named after the imposing stone barrier which separates the town from a grassy meadow. Here, young Tristran Thorn has lost his heart to the beautiful Victoria Forester and for the coveted prize of her hand, Tristran vows to retrieve a fallen star and deliver it to his beloved. It is an oath that sends him over the ancient wall and into a world that is dangerous and strange beyond imagining . . .



This was such a cute little fairy tale! It was a little odd and quirky I loved it. Neil Gaiman is brilliant and his writing is brilliant! It was genuinely a sweet fairy tale written in Victorian England/ fairie land.

Sunrunners Fire ( Dragon Prince book 3)
By Melanie Rawn

The discovery of the Star Scroll, a repository of forgotten spells of sorcery, threatens the Sunrunners as Andry attempts to master the ancient knowledge, Pol seeks to touch the minds of dragons, and an old enemey reawakens.


These books get better with each one! They are a bit slow going but you realise how much you need that extra information as you get towards the end! Now not many books bring a tear but when Rohan and Sioned tell Pol about his birth and parentage I couldn’t stop myself! Over 3 books and they are thick books you come to love and despise these characters. It’s definitely a an epic journey. I’m looking forward to seeing what comes from the next set of books.

Geralt de Rivia is a witcher. A cunning sorcerer. A merciless assassin.

And a cold-blooded killer.

His sole purpose: to destroy the monsters that plague the world.

But not everything monstrous-looking is evil and not everything fair is good

. . . and in every fairy tale there is a grain of truth.


I’m so glad I decided to start these books! This is a selection of short stories to open up the wither world and Geralt. I loved them all and it made so much more sense matching these shorts to the Tv series. Looking forward to getting stuck into the next book. It also helps I now have Henry Cavil stuck in my head for Geralt!

Fragility Unearthed ( The Cascade Book 3)
By Rebecca Royce

Once read a review will be written via Smashbomb and link posted in comments

Malcolm is missing. Levi is taken. And all the light from the world has gone with them.

Kendall Malcolm thought the world ended when her marriage ended and her life fell apart. She was wrong. Things could be a lot darker. She stands at the precipice - leader, mother, warrior - placing herself between the world and darkness.

But does she have to do it alone? It's looking that way.


3rd in the series an I think there is only 1 more book! Another very good instalment from Rebecca what I love most is Kendall being a middle aged mum. She has a few personal losses in this book not including the ending but she fights on and does what she needs to.

Giveaway Review
I received a copy of this album via Smashbomb Giveaways to listen to and review.
I have a bit of a love/hate relationship with Ariana Grande. Some of her music I absolutely love, and some I'm not too keen on. Because of this I knew this album would be a bit hit and miss. Fortunately it was more hit than miss!
I'm obsessed with the song 'God is a Woman'. It was the only track I knew going into this album, and I absolutely love it. My other favourite tracks were 'Raindrops', 'R.E.M' and 'No Tears Left to Cry'.
The cover art is beautiful (how can it not be? Ariana is stunning!) and I really love the quirky way the the images and text are facing different ways.
Overall, not one of my favourite albums, but it was very fun and I'm looking forward to listening to it again :)
